The Atmospheric Monitoring Directorate of Mexico City divides into five levels of air quality in the country’s capital.
Identified with the color green, the index of least concern is the “Well“, in which it is considered minimal health risk and both the general population and sensitive groups can enjoy outdoor activities.
It is followed by the level “Acceptable“, identified with the color yellow, in which sensitive people may experience respiratory symptoms (such as asthmatics), a possible worsening of lung and heart disease in people with comorbidities and older adults. In this index, people in sensitive groups should consider limiting vigorous outdoor physical activities, while the rest of the population can still do so.
In orange, there is the index “Bad“, in which there is a significant increase in the probability of the appearance of respiratory symptoms in sensitive people. While in people with respiratory and cardiac diseases there is an increase in the probability of worsening and decreased tolerance of physical activity, as well as a greater probability of premature deaths in people with heart or lung disease.
From here on, both people who are part of sensitive groups and the general population should take much greater precautions when carrying out outdoor activities.
At the level “Very bad”, identified with the color red, respiratory symptoms worsen in sensitive populations and in people with lung disease, as well as cardiovascular symptoms, such as chest pain, in people with heart disease, and there is a greater probability of premature death in people with heart or lung disease.
The last index, located with the purple color, is the “Extremely bad”, in which there is a significant increase in the probability of severe respiratory symptoms in the general population, as well as serious respiratory effects and worsening of symptoms in sensitive people and with lung disease, not to mention the worsening of cardiovascular symptoms in heart patients and in the probability of premature death in people with lung and heart disease.
It is important to mention that the sensitive groups referred to by the authorities include children, the elderly, people with nutritional deficiencies, people who carry out outdoor activities, cyclists and even workers.
